Trading on the Baltic and Finnish gas markets to move to the European Energy Exchange platform
Starting from 9 September 2025, trading on the Baltic and Finnish gas markets will shift from the GET Baltic platform to the European Energy Exchange (EEX).
The change will enable Estonian market participants to strengthen their connection with the Baltic and Finnish markets and gain access to European markets, including the possibility to trade with Contract for Difference (CfD) between these markets. For consumers, this means that gas prices in Estonia will follow European price trends more closely. With the help of CfD, gas sellers will be able to better hedge their risks, which should reduce sales margins.
“As a result of successful cooperation between the gas exchanges EEX and GET Baltic, as well as between Elering and other Baltic/Finnish transmission system operators, we will continue offering implicit capacity allocation, which ensures greater liquidity and better price convergence between the Finnish-Baltic gas market areas,” said Airi Noor, Head of Market Development at Elering.
Technically, this means that from 9 September 2025, the European Energy Exchange (EEX) and the clearing house European Commodity Clearing (ECC) will provide trading and clearing services for the Baltic and Finnish market areas, which until now have been carried out on GET Baltic. Trading on the GET Baltic platform will end on 9 September at 5:30 a.m. EE(S)T, with the last tradable product being delivery for 8 September.
